Cheerful and social 8-year-old seeks on-call substitutes for his BPA team - become an important part of my everyday life! 😊

📍*Employer:Mio BPA 📅*Commencement: As soon as possible 📌*Position type: On-call substitute ⏰*Working hours: Mainly night shifts, as well as weekends (day/night) and some day shifts on weekdays

I am a happy and social boy of 8 years who lights up the room and charms most people I meet. I am very interested in people. Music, play, and silliness are some of the best things I know, and I think pranks can be quite fun.

I am curious and pay close attention to what is happening around me. I pick up new words and phrases quickly, and I am constantly learning new things.

I have limited spoken language, and it can sometimes be difficult to understand what I am saying. Therefore, I use signs and symbols as support in communication. At the same time, I am clear about what I want and do not want, and my emotions are usually easy to read. I also have big emotions and need adults who can give me both space and good guidance when emotions become strong. I am bilingual and understand both Norwegian and English, but I speak mostly English.

Due to motor and developmental delays, I use a wheelchair and need support in everyday life. Therefore, I am looking for an assistant who wants to get to know me and stay with me over time.

Does this sound like a job for you? I look forward to hearing from you!
